In a post-Fringe world...

Next show? Just suggestions. Next poll will be as Fringe wraps up its fifth season.

Comments

I love iZombie but I'm not sure if Jimmy would. Hmm. Would love to see a reaction though. Penny Dreadful and American Gods are awesome suggestions.

Agnieszka Pienczykowska

I suggest : Broadchurch BBC, The Man in the High Castle, Dark, The Night of, Farscape, True Detective

Agreed!

JevCor

I would love to see your reactions to The OA, Chernobyl, The Strain, and Dark (though the last has subtitles if that matters).

Agnieszka Pienczykowska

After just watching the premiere right now, gotta throw Swamp Thing in the mix. Granted it's one episode, but loved everything about it, story, cast, pacing, and production. Interested to see how the story will evolve.

Ram

Either Farscape or Expanse would definitely work as my scifi-fix. But I would also recommend Chernobyl - the 5 part miniseries on HBO, it's so, so terrifying & beautiful at the same time.

imRhum

I know it's not exactly new, but Smallville was amazing

Robert Kruger

The Expanse (only started watching it and I’m amazed at the complexity), Black Mirror (dark satire about technology and media), Penny Dreadful (you liked the first episode don’t lie), and iZombie (DC comic show that’s filled to the brim with dark humour but is much lighter than you think, very funny and great plot). Oh, and American Gods (not sure if you’ve seen that yet).

Kim Carragher

Yeah, many people who give it a shot stop at the first episode. Big mistake in my opinion. This show doesn't come into its own until episode 3, where finally the acting gets tightened and they fall comfortably into their roles. John Hannah and Andy give fantastic performance from the start though.

David

Spartacus is your show! The first episode is really bad in my opinion but it gets better and better. And it has Manu Bennett (Deathstroke) and Lucy Lawless (Xena) in it. 😍

Ninaofthe90s

Oh shit, Orphan Black... not many people watching that rn. So yea i vote for Expanse or Orphan Black

Griff

The Expanse or Orphan Black

Craiova Maxima

Oh yeah, actually Stargate would be pretty nice to see someone reacting to as well, classic shit, SG1 & Atlantis at least, Universe not so much though it had potential, squandered unfortunately.

Cabba

Very nice taste in shows. All three are winners and very different.

Wateesh

The Americans, The Man in the High Castle, Patriot.

Brandon Bush

TD 1 is a perfect show, i bet it would bring in different viewers too

Griff

Im with this for sure, love the expanse and now i finally have a reason to really get into deadwood, only seen a few episodes

Griff

I feel like i have heard him reference atla before

Griff

I recommend The Expanse, Farscape, Grimm, Babylon 5 or Supernatural. Farscape - 4 seasons, Grimm - 5 seasons and Babylon5 - 5 seasons all have full story endings. I think Supernatural will be on it's last season soon.....I believe.

Robert Leija

The Stargate episode 200 is absolutely hilarious with its depictions of the Farscape characters.

Robert Kruger

Oh I didn't expect to see a Farscape suggestion here. I would have to concur with that suggestion! It would certainly make for very interesting reactions, even to people who haven't previously watched it.

Cabba

Definitely The Expanse. Epic freaking story. Based on some amazing books. Complex AF. Very thrones-y. The fandom of that show is pretty rabid. When SYFY cancelled it, they campaigned Amazon to pick up the show. They hired a plane with a #SAVE THE EXPANSE banner to fly over amazon HQ in Santa Monica. They raised enough money to rocket a model of the Rocinante to space.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOZcx4LsVn8) Even GRRM made a #SAVE THE EXPANSE blog post. It is the best sci-fi show on atm by a mile.

Constantine

Please, Farscape, Banshee or The Expanse.

Belinda

Another show like that is Better Call Saul which I actually have on an even keel with Breaking Bad. It has slower tempo, much build up, but it is well worth it when the shit hits the fan. It contains quite a bit of foreshadowing and subtle clues to pick up on as well, so it's a fun show to discuss and create theories around and trying to predict what's going to happen. Maybe you've already seen it though but if not it's certainly worth considering.

Cabba

If you haven't watched True Detective season 1 yet I would strongly suggest that one. It's pretty damn good, it's almost up there with Breaking Bad, The Wire and Sopranos, not quite there but almost.

Cabba

Oh yeah, Continuum is great too.

Robert Kruger

I'd recommend the following that were named already in this order: Spartacus Black Mirror Orphan Black Expanse I'd recommend the following shows that were not mentioned: Spooks Metal Hurlant

Robert Kruger

I really liked Sherlock until I watched this: https://youtu.be/LkoGBOs5ecM

Robert Kruger

Please no more animated stuff, there's already too much.

Robert Kruger

Just remember, Dollhouse sucks for the first few episodes. The actors just didn't "find their place" until lator.

Robert Kruger

Alias is solid

Robert Kruger

I agree with this.

Robert Kruger

Blacklist, Supernatural, Sons of Anarchy, Sherlock, Burn Notice, Firefly

Scarlett Monrow

Orphan Black

Justified, I think you would love it. It has amazing storylines and a amazing cast.

Feda

Expanse, you might not like the few beginning eps (I think you watched the 1st ep already). It gets better then amazing for season 2 and 3. 12 Monkeys is also great and is complete. And Mr Robot is amazing with a final season about to air. Deadwood with a movie also to air soon.

Spartacus!

Punjathon

Yes, Orphan Black! It explores a lot of the same themes as Fringe, but through a different kind of character study!

Orphan Black! pleaseeee

Julia 🍌

The Expanse

Wateesh

The Fall (Gillian Anderson) or Marcella on Netflix. The thrid of Marcella will be coming out later this year.

Hannibal. Justified. True Detective.

True detective season 1

DSP

You should continue true detective or the office

Light Yagami

Killing Eve or Knightfall

jonathan fonti

The expanse

Abara_art

- Spartacus - The Expanse - Black Mirror - The last kingdom - Justified - Penny Dreadful The poll I'd recommend 😊

Ninaofthe90s

I'm joining the people suggesting The Expanse, it really is a spectacular show.

Joel Nordlander

I agree the expanse is fire

Ethan

The Expanse

Griff

The Expanse. You watched the first episode at my request when you first got Patreon going, but it's a show that you need to get thru the first few eps to really appreciate because it takes time to get to know the characters.

Tim Arnold

I'm throwing up my recommendation for The Expanse as well.

ChaosPudding

Justified would be awesome. I saw you really like the pilot earlier and it gets a lot better. Banshee is really good too.

AgentFalcon

Don't remember you referencing these before, so forgive me if you've already seen them, but 24 and The Shield seems like obvious shows for you.

Thomas Hansen

The Expanse, or Black Mirror

Krieger

the expanse. soprano's, if you have never seen it.

SanchoPanza

Banshee or Bosch

Chris Baum

You should try Patriot. Its an Amazon Prime original. Its has plenty of dark humor and is a slightly satirical look at spycraft and secret agents.

Seen you seen black sails and other similar shows to that i suggest spartacus from starz im sure you will love it

A great show I've never seen anyone react to is Friday Night Lights.

Loco Logic

12 Monkeys does not get enough love anywhere. But it's quite a remarkable show that nobody seemed to watch.

David

The 100 is really good.

David

Manifest

Alisha Brayboy

Got to throw my weight behind Spartacus (if you haven't seen it). Truly bad pilot episode, but then gets amazing. The scheming, the action, the characters, the general plot, all good stuff that I think you will enjoy.

David

the promised neverland

Alisha Brayboy

True detective or The Expanse.

Drew

Can't agree enough about Black Mirror. I was recommended it by a friend and watched the first episode. I was so turned off I didn't consider watching the rest until months later when I have it another shot.

Retap Maxsor

I am always a fan of recommending 4400

Collector of Stuff

The Expanse or Mr. Robot

Ben Trotter

Spartacus

Cadmus Lochlan

From what I have seen others suggest above I would give a second vote to Dark Angel, Mr. Robot, Black Mirror (don't judge it by the first episode if you try that one). There are other suggestions I like but those are ones I like that I think you might like. Adding True Detective season one. I have not seen the other seasons yet but heard two was not good and three was good.

Dave Hampton

Expanse

Mark Wood

12 Monkeys

Great Sage Sun

Don't know if it has to be non animated but I highly recommend Baccano! It's an 13 episode anime plus 3 ovas; involving gangsters and alchemists..won't say anymore but it's definitely one of my favorites and I think it's something you will definitely enjoy it.

Aras Paty

24

Ghost St Patrick

True Detective and Chernobyl

THE EXPANSE

Monster (74 episode anime from 2004)

Addevalla

Avatar the Last Airbender

MrEvers

I can't recall, has Jimmy ever said whether or not he's seen Penny Dreadful? If not, then that. Penny Dreadful. If he has seen it, then I'll jump on the Expanse bandwagon. Good shows, both.

John Palb

Firefly or Dollhouse I'm about to start a re-watch of James Cameron's Dark Angel. Jessica Alba as the lead. It's been a while but I remember it being entertaining as hell. Or if you are up for another anime Psycho-Pass is excellent.

Jo

The Last Kingdom You would love it.

ilppi13

The Expanse

mems

Deadwood or The Expanse would be my 2 picks.

Tom Southcott

ALIAS, another JJ Abrams show maybe👍

LEESA DRONE

If you're willing to go back a bit (2001-2005), but unless you've already seen it, Six Feet Under is a fantastic series.........one of the most satisfying endings of all time!

Love Th OA. Great suggestion.

Agnieszka Pienczykowska

CHERNOBYL on HBO! It's so good, and only 5 episodes.

Agnieszka Pienczykowska

Prison Break if you've never seen it is one of the best series, in my top 4 of the best series, I know you've already seen the other 3 (LOST, Breaking Bad, Fringe) If you have already seen I really recommend The 100, The Expanse or Dark on Netflix ;)

He has already seen the blacklist. I know that because Raymond "Red" reddington is his second favorite tv character of all time

Ninaofthe90s

If you haven't seen Spartacus yet, it should definitely be next on your list. It's like 300 meets Rome and has a good deal of the anyone can die/anything can happen feel of Game of Thrones.

Tim Itnyre

The ones I can think of right now are The OA(Netflix) and The Expanse(SyFy/Amazon). The OA is a complete mindfuck, and just a fantastic fucking story. It has 2 seasons so far. The Expanse is kinda like a GoT in space, in the sense of the political aspect, multiple factions and colliding storylines. Also based on a book series. It had 3 seasons on SyFy, and Amazon picked up its 4th sesason which will drop later this year.

Ram

I would definitly go with the blacklist for is fun dark humor

Definitely Spartacus. And two episodes of person of interest

Ninaofthe90s

Still holding hope for Deadwood (the Black Sails creators named it as one of their inspirations and there is a new Deadwood movie coming out in a few days) or Sons of Anarchy... True Detective is also cool.

Jana

Mr. Robot if you haven't seen it is splendid and is due to air its last season next. Currently number two on my best-shows-currently-ongoing list since GoT ended. Number one being AoS ofcourse.

Teddy S

24, Deadwood or Madmen. Madmen may be too slow.

Utopia is a brilliant UK series. Just 12 episodes, beautifully written and a unique aesthetic. The story is one well worth reacting to. I believe it's getting a US remake this year. Let's see if anyone agrees with me!

Ooh Killing Eve is amazing too. Season 2 just finished

NEMESIS

BLACK MIRROR!!!!!

NEMESIS

The Blacklist

Anthony Anderson

I would love to see you react to Once Upon a Time starring Jennifer Morrison, Colin O’Donoghue, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Josh Dallas, Haven starring Emily Rose and Lucas Bryant, Leverage starring Timothy Hutton, Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf, and Aldis Hodge, and/or White Collar starring Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay. Please... please... please!! I think you would love any one of these shows and they’re my favorites along with Person of Interest!!

Heidi Elizabeth Marcum

True Detective season 1 would be a quick binge, and of course 2 POI episodes a week is paramount
